ONCE UPON A TIME: VISIT TO A MUSEUM
+ ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Once upon a Time: Visit to a Museum was inspired by the old telephones that gradually disappeared from everyday life as new technologies replaced them. I wanted to imagine a typical museum visit in which a guide brings these objects from the past back to life, telling visitors the story of models that once played an important role in the history of communication.
The visitors gather around the central figure, listening with curiosity and attention as if discovering something that belongs to another time. I was interested in capturing that particular feeling that arises when we encounter an object from the past and suddenly realize how much our everyday lives have changed.
The telephones therefore become more than historical objects. They are reminders of a time when communication meant waiting for a call, reaching for a receiver and sharing a much more tangible connection with another person.
The geometric structure reinforces the sense of order and organization associated with a museum, while the stylized figures keep the scene open and universal. Through this painting, I wanted to bring together curiosity, memory and the history of human connection — inviting the viewer to look at these old objects not only as technology from the past, but as witnesses to the way we once communicated.
